One of our favorite local breweries! Always like trying a flight, really appreciated having the option of how many beers in each flight. Staff is always nice and the live entertainment is great.

The woman who waited on us was on us was so incredibly friendly I just stopped in to get a sticker but we had to stay a while and hang out. Had a great beer and they had a market going on. Awesome place.

I liked the beer menu. Great choices. Didn't like how they didn't put prices on the menu. Why is this a thing more and more? Find out the price after you have pours and are ready to pay. In the end, premium prices, like $7 before tax. Beer was average. Not bad. Not great. Had the Honey Wit (zero sweetness or hint of honey) and the Pomegranate Wit (again, very light on pomegranate). For some odd reason they only did 13oz on the pomegranate beer. Same abv. So in summary, generally good but not great. Prices too high for a smaller city and transparency on pricing is awful. However, I'd like to try more of what they offer.

This is everything a small-town brewery should be. Veteran owned. Great selection of beers, with seasonal/specials on occasion. Good prices. Live music. Music bingo. Food trucks. And most importantly, really chill and friendly staff/clientele. They have a nice patio area out front as well.

Lots of good beer. The staff were super friendly. Liked the set up/atmosphere! They had some rocking chairs, couches, board games, peanuts. Will def go back!! And their name/logo is great!

Definitely a favorite FV brewery. Love stopping by for beers and entertainment (live music, music Bingo, etc). Great food truck options regularly too. Always have a good time.

I REALLY want to like this place, but I just can't. I didn't go back for a few years, but recently decided to give it another shot. First off, the beer was mediocre at best in my opinion. Despite being an avid beer lover, I just couldn't find anything that I would want to order again. Secondly, if you're not a regular and part of the "in crowd", don't expect a warm welcome to the taproom from the service staff or the other patrons. Within a few minutes after walking in, a few years ago as well as recently, you just feel a bit ostracized. It is weird to explain, but oddly enough after talking with other beer loving locals in the area, they would often say the same or similar things when they would visit, and it made them avoid it like myself. My final criticism, which I will say is their prerogative as a private business to have this policy, is the fact that they aren't dog friendly inside, unlike many other breweries in the area. My wife and I enjoy taking our two pups out to breweries and places that like where they are allowed, and often decide where we go based on where we can take them, if we decide to let them tag along. Despite the criticisms listed above, I want to end this negative review on a positive note. At least their beer and service are better than Aviator's.

The Fainting Goat is one of our favorite local breweries. They have the best double Belgium and their music bingos on Friday nights is seriously the best around. Yummy brews, Fun weekly events, and Amazing owners

Wide selection of locally brewed beers! Order flights, loved it. Live music, no food or food truck. Don't think they serve free peanuts anymore. It was not busy on a Sunday afternoon. Will visit again.

Music bingo is awesome on Friday nights. Great Brown Ale and Maple Pecan Porter. Great rotation of food trucks parked outside.

Really great brews and a cool vibe. Reminds me of outside of Charlotte with a lot of cool breweries, highly recommended!

We had an amazing time here playing trivia and eating from the MaineLobster food truck. Oh my goodness! The beer was wonderful, and just perfect temperature wise. The trivia was fun, but medium hard. Big crowd, 16 teams! I would recommend it to anyone with absolute confidence.

So I had the opportunity to sample the “Scapegoat” hazy IPA this evening. The beer tasting experience that followed was next level! The fainting goat has it figured out! Their ability to pack that much flavor into a 16oz vessel is unparalleled. Not only was the beer phenomenal, but the staff that help me on my beer flavored experience was also so friendly, helpful, and kind that felt to be a part of family. Comparable to none other in the area, Fainting Goat is the pace to visit!!!!

The hoses need to be cleaned, 2 stars was generous. Clean your hoses!

What a great place to have a cold locally brewed beer and listen to live, music! Grab something to eat from the food truck in the parking lot or a restaurant next door, and settle in. It's going to be a fun night.

My husband and I thought the place looked interesting when we drove past on our way home from Raleigh, so we stooped. There was live music at night (open mic) which was fantastic as well as the beer on tap. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and staff there.

Great cider and service! Love how they support our local community and it is even Veteran owned!

Great little brewery! Fun, casual atmosphere and the beers are top notch. I especially like the brown ale and red ale. Get a flight to sample them all!

Very attentive bar tenders. Small but good selection of beer. Food trucks and beer always go together. Great place to sit and enjoy beer and relax.

As 173rd man, I can't give this place enough stars. I've never had a bad beer and only once since they opened up have I had a bad barmaid. I love this place and will keep coming back as long as they are open.

Small local brewery that serves their own brews. Have about 15 or so beers on tap with several styles of beer. Pretty decently sized indoor seating area with nice bar. Plenty of merchandise on sale ranging from hats, shirts, and stickers. Nice outdoor seating area with about 5-6 covered tables.

Great experience with good beer and great service. We will be back.

Good beer selection, had a couple that I could sip on all day. Super friendly staff as well. The outside area seemed pretty large and was told they have food trucks and music. Also some other cool events on the calendar I saw included trivia and bar bingo.
